  1. Bought a Kindle book last night. $9.99 for "The Hot Rock" by Donald E. Westlake. I read it years and years ago and wanted a copy. (Actually would like to get all the entire Dortmunder series eventually.)

    There are FIVE pages of ads between the cover page and the start of the actual book. I knew that I wasn't really "buying" the book. I'm merely getting use of it for as long as Amazon allows. But I'm drawing the line at FIVE pages of ads at the start of the book.

    I tried returning it this morning, but it "isn't eligible" for return.

    Time to go to bookshop.org and get a copy, a real, physical copy, of the book for my shelf.

  9. "We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

  19. RE: mastodon.online/@tomshardware/

    Another reason modern internet life sucks. We rely on cloud services you have no control over as a business. First time I've noticed it with a big service though.

    Like consumer streaming services: When people stopp buying MP3s they run the risk of only being able to access what the streaming services have licenses for, and you're at risk if they go bust. I have gaps in my Deezer playlists because of things disappearing. History getting lost for one reason or another.

  28. this may sound insignificant on a "grand scheme" or from populist perspective, but in practice it's actually very helpful and useful, and most importantly very grounded in reality.

    especially when it comes to entertainment services and their "discounts" under certain conditions, or quiet renewals. theguardian.com/commentisfree/
